Achillea aleppica subsp. zederbaueri is a perennial, low-growing subspecies of Yarrow indigenous to Turkey. This plant features white-yellow blooms that appear between June and August, accompanied by silvery-green foliage. Highly resilient to drought, it is an ideal selection for rock gardens or areas designed to withstand dry conditions. Thriving in full sunlight and well-drained soils, it is also known for its ability to naturalize. Propagation can occur through division or cuttings, though growing from seed is a slower alternative.
